GRMLN, “Coral” MP3

Born in Kyoto, Japan and raised in southern California, 19-year-old Yoodoo Park aka GRMLN makes sweet dream pop that seems perfectly suited to driving with windows down alongside a picturesque Santa Cruz shoreline. It's got a unspoiled earnestness (as well as a literalness with tracks like "Patio") and a studied, pleasant jangle that's hard to argue with, even if your current location is more penned in office than wide open swaths of sand. GRMLN's new EP will be out October 23rd on Carpark.
